Okay , so again a long time has gone by since I've done any new posts, so I made 3 videos yesterday, and still need to do one more but for now I hope you find these useful!
In order for these videos to be more understandable you may want to check out these web sites for what certain definitions mean or what some ingredients are and how they work ...etc:
www.dermalinstitute.com
www.mychelle.com
In the first video I Talk about some Dermalogica products I got recently on a wonderful website www.beautyflash.co.uk ! ( You can get them in the USA too in stores or at Dermalogica shops/skin care centers...just check on line!)
They ship to HUNGARY as well!!
Their website is great and very easy to navigate! They feature options such as "ask our therapists" where you can email any questions you have concerning the products or skin type and "face mapping" which if you click on they ask a few ( I think too few...) questions about how your skin is, determining which products you should try! I do think that they need to ask more questions in order to get enough info together in order to figure out which products will suit you, but...it's better than nothing and they do show some alternatives as well.
Another great point of the web site is that, next to each product is not only a list of the active ingredients, but also states what effects they have and how they work! I rarely see stuff like this with product and it's so important!
The prices on the beauty flash site are cheaper than elsewhere, they ship for free within the UK and Ireland, plus you may choose a tester out of a huge list of products as a bonus! (They send 2 little packets, which you can get up to 4-5 uses out of them if you are wise about application)
UPDATE: I just received an email from Beauty Flash that they will have to increase their prices from april! :( Sad, but still worth comparing to retail stores/salons!
Watch the video below to find out more information and see which products I got!!
Second video is about Darphin and CARGO Cheek activator!
The Daprhin product is a cleansing balm, with aromatherapeutic Rosewood!
I talk about it and the benefits of rosewood in the video so not going to write too much about the product itself, just the availability!
USA:

www.cheapsmells.com
www.feelunique.com
www.darphin.com (Store and Spa locator!)
UK:
www.salonskincare.co.uk
www.echemist.co.uk

www.darphin.co.uk (Store and Spa locator!)
HU:
Try larger pharmacies such as in Mammut or Westend Shopping centers!!
The second item I talk about is CARGO's Cheek Activator!
I believe you can get Cargo in Sephora, at least I know they used to sell their products.
I got this at Boots and it had a HUGE price reduction ..like the origional price was over 10 pounds and I got this for 4!! SO SO SO worth it! I LOVE it, it gives a perfect natural cheek color and kind of adapts to your skin color.
Usually cream color doesn't stay too well on me but this is super, and dries totally matte.
Third and last video for this post is about my new REAL TECHNIQUES brushes and the effects of smoking on the skin!
If you are a makeup addict and haven't heard of these you MUST MUST MUST do some research on them and watch Pixiwoo on youtube or just search them on there!! Lately everyone is buzzing about them and I was becoming very fascinated by them + needed to get some new brushes so I chose these! Let me tell you these brushes are wonderful! So amazing, that I decided to be a bit selfish and keep them for myself!
I talk and show them in the video a little bit, so here is the info on where you can find them!
( IF YOU want me to do a kind of tutorial on how they work , let me know and I will film a video for that...I didn't because there are tons and tons of them and even Samantha has some on the Real Techniques site!)
USA:
www.realtechniques.com
www.ulta.com ( They used to have more...for some reason they only have the powder brush for now...)
UK and HU (NOT BOOTS!) :
www.boots.com
www.love-makeup.co.uk
www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk (Has also vegan cosmetics and brushes!)
So first off I DO NOT ENCOURAGE SMOKING, but I myself have smoked and I may still once in a while bum one off someone in social situations.
I don't buy them anymore and don't feel the urge to smoke anymore...the last time I had a cigarette I actually felt a bit groggy and sick...I am glad I have arrived to this point!
Having said that, I did this post because many of my friends and people I know are smokers and may be interested in what effects it has on the skin. So in the video that's what I talk about and try to explain in depth ( best to my knowledge ) what the physical effects are.
At the end I also say a couple of ideas to counter act the effects HOWEVER the obvious solution is to QUIT the habit all together!
I hope you will find them useful and will do a Vitamins video as soon as I can, I just have to record it!! :)
I am also planning on doing a post about harmful metals found in decorative cosmetics...I have the info but have to first "process" it then tape it for you all!
If anyone has any more ideas or questions please inbox me or leave a comment here or on my facebook page!
